Google's pro-Muslim algorithms

09/05/2018

After many years, Texas imam Omar Suleiman has successfully lobbied
Google into changing the algorithm used to find results on Muslim-related
issues. According to the state-run Turkish news Anadolu Agency, Google's results about queries
related to Islam or Muslims in the past produced "what many criticized as
propaganda from hate groups" and "alleged
disinformation." In contrast, now "Google's first page
results for searches of terms such as 'jihad,' 'sharia' and 'taqiyya' return
mostly reputable explanations of Islamic concepts."
